   <p><strong>Acerca de los cursos: </strong>Intermediate Law Skills</p>
   <p>Estos cursos tienen como fin introducir a   los alumnos a la gram&aacute;tica, estructuras y vocabulario t&iacute;picos del &aacute;mbito   jur&iacute;dico. Es ideal para aquellos que, tras haber cursado niveles en   esta Direcci&oacute;n u otro centro de idiomas, tengan la necesidad de leer y   comprender material jur&iacute;dico redactado en ingl&eacute;s. Por otra parte, no es   el prop&oacute;sito de este curso formar profesionales o expertos en el sistema   jur&iacute;dico del &quot;Common Law&quot; sino afianzar el nivel de idioma a trav&eacute;s del   an&aacute;lisis de conceptos b&aacute;sicos dictados en los cursos. El material a   utilizar y la metodolog&iacute;a de trabajo permitir&aacute;n la transici&oacute;n entre un   curso tradicional y uno de estas caracter&iacute;sticas. La bibliograf&iacute;a   comprende obras de los pa&iacute;ses del sistema en estudio con ejercitaci&oacute;n   adaptada a los textos. Se trabajar&aacute; la comprensi&oacute;n de textos, el   reconocimiento de estructuras, vocabulario y usos del lenguaje del   derecho. S&oacute;lo se prev&eacute; a este nivel la producci&oacute;n b&aacute;sica por parte del   alumno. El curso contempla la evaluaci&oacute;n constante mediante la   ejercitaci&oacute;n y una evaluaci&oacute;n escrita final en base a la ejercitaci&oacute;n   del curso.</p>

   <p><strong>About the courses: </strong>&ldquo;Intermediate Law Skills&rdquo;</p>
   <p>The purpose of our courses is to introduce   students to the grammar, structures and vocabulary that are typical of   the language of the law. It is ideal for those students who have   attended courses in this Department or other language centres and need   to read and understand texts drafted in legal English. It is therefore   not our purpose to train students to become professionals or experts in   the Common Law but to consolidate their level of command of the language   through the practice of the basic concepts delivered in the courses.   The teaching material to be used and the methodology applied to the work   in class will help with the transition between a traditional course and   one of the characteristics described herein. The bibliography includes   textbooks from the country whose legal system the courses are based on;   and together with the bibliography there are sets of exercises specially   prepared on the texts. The courses focus on reading comprehension, the   identification of structures, vocabulary and usage of the language of   the law and basic written production. Students will be tested throughout   the course by means of the exercises given to them in class. There will   also be a final written test similar in format to the exercises the   students are familiar with.</p>

   <p><strong>To the student:</strong></p>
   <p>This course is devised for students who   have a good level of command of the English language and want to take   their first steps in other areas of specialised English. Since the   language of the law is different from everyday English, students need to   start the transition between reading and understanding various types of   texts and getting to know the background of this particular area of the   language. Consequently, this course is ideal as a first, introductory   course in legal English.<br />
     Students are going to read material from various sources   of information and are going to learn how the language of the law   operates by a process of incorporating the new vocabulary and structures   typical of the subject they are reading about, which should not be   confused with studying the subject in detail. The sources include   articles taken from magazines and newspapers as well as relevant   literature from coursebooks. <br />
     The syllabus for this course is different. First, it is   flexible. You will notice that there are not many sub-topics included in   the units. The reason for this is that the teacher has the possibility   to select the areas of interest for the students as the course is in   progress from the feedback he gets from the group. Second, it is   multi-purpose. Students have the chance to know the language of the law   through an appropriate introduction plus both the vocabulary and   relevant structures typical of this field. </p>
